[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] In this embodiment, an antifouling cell culture plate 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a culture plate 1, a cover plate 2 and a hole cover 3. Specifically, the cover plate 2 is covered on the culture plate 1. The cover plate 2 is breathable. The culture plate 1 is evenly provided with a plurality of culture holes 4. The plurality of culture holes 4 are arranged in a matrix, preferably with six holes, twelve holes or twenty-four holes. Each of the culture holes 4 is detachably connected with a hole cover 3. The inner side of the cover plate 2 is provided with a groove 5 for accommodating the hole cover 3. The number of the grooves 5 is multiple, and the plurality of grooves 5 correspond to the positions of the culture holes 4 one by one.

[0029] By adopting this structure, all the above-mentioned culture holes 4 are closed by setting a plurality of the above-mentioned hole covers 3. During the experiment, only the required culture holes 4 need to be opened, and the other culture holes 4 are still in a closed state by the above-mentioned hole covers 3, thereby avoiding cross contamination between the above-mentioned culture holes 4. After the experiment is over, the above-mentioned culture holes 4 that are used are closed again, which does not affect the continuation of the experiment in other culture holes 4, thereby improving the utilization rate of the culture holes 4 on the single above-mentioned culture plate 1, making the practicality of the utility model more stronger.

[0030] As a specific implementation of this embodiment, Figure 1As shown, an annular boss 6 is extended from the hole mouth of the culture hole 4, the outer wall of the annular boss 6 is provided with an external thread, the inner wall of the hole cover 3 is provided with an internal thread, and the hole cover 3 is detachably covered on the annular boss 6 through the cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread. In this way, the annular boss 6 is higher than the upper plane of the culture plate 1, and the culture hole 4 is closed by the hole cover 3, so that there will be no cross contamination between the culture holes 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the hole cover 3 is symmetrically provided with two light walls 15 along the length direction, and the inner diameter of the light wall 15 is the same as the bottom diameter of the internal thread of the hole cover 3. With such arrangement, when the hole cover is screwed with the annular boss 6, the light wall 15 will not be screwed with the external thread of the annular boss 6, and a gap will be formed between the light wall 15 and the external thread at the corresponding position of the annular boss 6, so that it has a certain air permeability, which is beneficial to cell culture.

[0032] In this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a screwdriver 7 for rotating to open the hole cover 3. The screwdriver 7 includes two elastic plates 8 connected in a V-shape. The free end of the connecting plate is provided with a slot 9. The outer wall of the hole cover 3 is symmetrically provided with two convex strips 10 matching the slots 9. When it is necessary to open the hole cover 3, the slots 9 on the two elastic plates 8 are respectively hung on the two convex strips 10, and then the screwdriver 7 is rotated, thereby driving the hole cover 3 to rotate to open the culture hole 4. As an optimization, the groove 5 is a square groove so that the hole cover 3 and the convex strips 10 thereon can be completely accommodated in the groove 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a storage box is also included, and the storage box is used to temporarily store the hole cover 3. The storage box includes a box body 11 and a box cover 12. One side of the box cover 12 is hinged to the box body 11 by a hinge, and the other side is connected to the box body 11 by a buckle. The culture plate 1 and the cover plate 2 are placed in the storage box. As an optimization, a plurality of straps 13 are provided on the inner side of the box cover 12. The plurality of straps 13 are arranged at intervals in a straight line, and the screwdriver 7 is placed on the inner side of the box cover 12 through the straps 13.

[0034] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, a boss 14 is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the box body 11. There are multiple bosses 14, and the multiple bosses 14 correspond one-to-one to the positions of the culture holes 4. The outer wall of the boss 14 is provided with an external thread matching the internal thread of the hole cover 3, so that the hole cover 3 can be screwed onto the boss 14. During the experiment, the boss 14 is used to temporarily place the hole cover 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, the culture plate 1, cover plate 2, hole cover 3, and storage box are all structural components made of transparent materials with good light transmittance, which facilitates observation of the experimental process.

[0036] As an optimization, the grooves 5 and the bosses 14 are provided with corresponding digital marks to facilitate recording of the experimental process and results.

[0037] Application scenario process of the utility model: when cell culture is performed for the first time, unpack the disposable package in the clean bench and take out the present invention, open the culture plate 1 and the storage box respectively, take out the screwdriver 7 in the storage box, unscrew the corresponding number of the hole covers 3 according to the experimental design requirements, and temporarily fix them at the bottom of the storage box according to the corresponding position sequence, use a pipette to add the cell suspension to the opened culture wells 4, and after completing the rest of the operations, install the hole covers 3 in the storage box back on the culture wells 4. Then cover the culture plate 1 and place it in an incubator in working state for cell culture, and fix the screwdriver 7 in the storage box and store it in a clean bench or other sterile environment. According to the experimental needs, the above-mentioned cover plate 2 or the hole cover 3 can be marked with an oil pen. When cells are needed to perform biomedical experiments, after confirming that the cell status is completed in the clean bench, the hole cover 3 on the above-mentioned culture hole 4 where the cells or suspension are needed is opened and placed in the above-mentioned storage box, and the clean bench can be taken out to perform the corresponding experiment. After the experiment is completed, the above-mentioned culture plate 1 is placed in the clean bench, the waste liquid in the used culture hole 4 is sucked out, and the hole cover 3 temporarily stored is taken out from the above-mentioned storage box and covered, so as to avoid the used culture hole 4 from causing potential contamination to other unused culture holes 4 and the entire sterile environment, and then use the new culture hole 4 for a new round of cell culture.

[0038] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
